diversion tunnel. Geometries of the inlet andoutlet tunnel portal slopes were designed byBBWS Brantas (2017) using a numerical soft-ware Plaxis developed by Bentley Systems, Inc.However, earthquake load was not consideredinto the slope designs. In addition, the rockscomprising the slopes were assumed to be ho-mogenous, and the shear strength parametersfor the slope stability analyses were obtainedfrom laboratory direct shear strength tests. Aslocated in an active seismic region, the stabilityof the tunnel portal slopes may be affected byearthquakes. As discontinuities tend to reducerock mass strength, ignoring rock mass qualitycontrolled by rock fractures may lead to over-estimated slope factor of safety. Therefore, sta-bility evaluation of the designed inlet and por-tal slopes by taking into account the earthquakeload and rock fracturing degree is necessary.

The finite element method has been increas-ingly used in slope stability analyses (Hammahet al., 2004). Excellent reviews of finite elementanalyses of slope stability are provided in nu-merous textbooks (e.g., Duncan et al., 2014; Wyl-lie, 2018). One of the advantages of the finite el-ement method over the traditional limit equilib-rium method is that no assumption needs to bemade in advance about the shape or location ofthe failure surface (e.g., Griffith and Lane, 1999;Rocscience Inc., 2001).

This paper presents results of engineering ge-ology study carried out to evaluate the stabilityof designed tunnel portal slopes at The BagongDam site under static and earthquake loads us-ing the finite element method. Results of theengineering geological mapping and rock coreevaluations are presented, and results of staticand pseudostatic slope stability analyses arehighlighted.

2 GEOLOGICAL SETTING

The Regional Geological Map of Madiun Sheetprepared by Hartono et al. (1992) shows thatthe Bagong Dam site and the surrounding con-sist of the Mandalika and Wonosari Formations(Figure 2). The Mandalika Formation was es-timated to form in Oligocene to Early Miocene,while the Wonosari Formation was estimated toform in Early to Late Miocene. Based on sur-face geological mapping and evaluation of drillcores, Fatkhiandari (2020) indicated that two

main types of lithologies, namely volcanic brec-cia and limestone, existed in the Bagong Damsite were likely members of the Mandalika andWonosari Formations, respectively. In addition,faults and joints observed in the Bagong Damsite and the surrounding had a consistent ori-entation to the regional Meratus structural pat-tern (NE–SW), as described by Pulunggono danMartodjodjo (1994).

3 METHOD

Engineering geological mapping around thetunnel portals, evaluation of rock cores at fourboreholes drilled by BBWS Brantas (2014) nearthe inlet and outlet tunnel portals (Figure 1),and laboratory testing of soil and rock sampleswere carried out to obtain data of rock masslayers and the engineering properties. Rockmass quality was determined by the GeologicalStrength Index (GSI) of the rock cores followingequation proposed by Hoek et al. (2013) as fol-lows:

GSI = 1.4Jcond +RQD

2(1)

where Jcond = joint conditions of rock coresas described in Bieniawski (1989); RQD = rockquality designation.

The pseudostatic slope stability analyseswere carried out to estimate the stability ofthe tunnel portal slopes under an earthquakeload. Following procedures described in SNI8460 (BSN, 2017), the seismic coefficient usedin pseudostatic slope stability analyses werecalculated as 0.5 of the peak ground accelera-tion (PGA) determined by considering the siteclass and amplification factor (FPGA). In addi-tion, the SNI 8460 (BSN, 2017) adopts groundmotions with a 10 % probability of exceedancein 50 years (corresponding approximately toa 500-year return period) for seismic slopedesign. The peak ground acceleration at par-ticular sites can be obtained from earthquakehazard source maps produced by the NationalEarthquake Center (2017).

The static and pseudostatic slope stabilityanalyses were carried out using a finite elementbased RS2 software developed by Rocscience,Inc. The input parameters in the slope stabilityanalyses are shown in Table 1. Figure 3 showsthe geometries of the natural slopes with the

rock masses applied in the slope stability anal-yses. The natural slope at the tunnel inlet had a40° inclination, while that of at the tunnel outlethad a 51° inclination. The groundwater levelsin both slopes were inferred from drilling data.Following the best practice of excavated slopedesign, the excavated slopes at the tunnel in-let and outlet were designed to have a 1:1 sloperatio (or 45° inclination). The SNI 8460 (BSN,2017) required a minimum factor of safety val-ues of 1.5 and 1.1 for permanent slopes understatic and earthquake loads, respectively. Inthe numerical finite element analyses, the fac-tor of safety values was represented by criticalStrength Reduction Factor (SRF) values.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Rock mass types and propertiesTypes and qualities of the rock masses compris-ing the inlet and outlet tunnel portal slopes areshown in Table 2. Those characteristics of therock masses were determined from the engi-neering geological mapping and evaluation ofthe rock cores at Borehole BT3 and BBT 3 (Ta-ble 1). The inlet tunnel slope consisted of fourtypes of materials, namely residual soil, poorquality of volcanic breccia, very poor quality ofvolcanic breccia, and good quality of volcanicbreccia. Meanwhile, the outlet portal slope con-

sisted of six types of materials, namely residualsoil, very poor quality of limestone, poor qual-ity of limestone, very poor quality of volcanicbreccia, poor quality breccia, and good qualitybreccia. Typical cores of rock masses compris-ing the slopes are shown in Figure 4. The ma-terial properties from the laboratory tests (Ta-ble 4) then used as input parameters in the slopestability analyses. Intact rock constant (mi) ofeach rock mass quality was estimated based onthe range of mi value for each rock type pro-vided in the RS2 database by considering theweathering degree of the intact rock. Distur-bance factor (D) values were all set into zero byassuming that the excavation processes causedminimum disturbance to the surrounding rockmasses.

4.2 Earthquake loadMeasurement data of the previous study(BBWS Brantas, 2014) indicated that the re-search area had more than 1500 m/s secondaryelastic wave velocity (Vs) values. Therefore,the rock masses are classified as a hard rock(SA) class. The earthquake hazard source mapwith a 10 % probability of exceedance in 50years provided by the National EarthquakeCenter (2017) indicated that the PGA and thecorresponding amplification factor FPGA in

the research area were 0.3 and 0.8, respectively.The calculated seismic coefficient for the pseu-dostatic slope stability analyses was, therefore,0.12.

4.3 Portal slope stabilityContours of maximum shear strains resultedfrom the slope stability analyses for the natu-ral and excavated slopes under static and earth-quake loads are shown in Figure 5 to Figure 8.At the same time, the critical SRF values aresummarized in Table 5. In general, the naturaland designed excavated slopes met the stabilityrequirements specified in SNI 8460 (BSN, 2017),where the slopes under static and earthquakeloads had critical SRF (or factor safety) of morethan 1.5 and 1.1, respectively. Figure 6 and Fig-ure 8 show that maximum shear strains devel-oped at the toes of the inlet and outlet excavatedslopes above the tunnel portal. The maximumshear strain values were relatively insignificant(i.e., less than 5 %), and the critical SRF valueswere relatively high.

The simulation results imply that the earth-quake load reduces the critical SRF values ofall the slopes. Under the static load, the criti-cal SRF value of the inlet slope decreased as theslope inclination increased due to excavation

(i.e., 40° for natural inlet slope and 45° for exca-vated inlet slope). Meanwhile, the critical SRFvalue of the outlet slope increased as the slopeinclination reduced due to excavation (i.e., 51°for natural outlet slope and 45° for excavatedoutlet slope). The trends of decreased and in-creased critical SRF values of the inlet and out-let slopes, respectively, under static load, wereconsistent with those under earthquake load(Table 5).

5 CONCLUSIONS

The engineering geological mapping and eval-uation of rock cores indicated that the inlet tun-nel slope consisted of four types of materials,namely residual soil, poor quality of volcanicbreccia, very poor quality of volcanic breccia,and good quality of volcanic breccia. The out-let portal slope consisted of six types of mate-rials, namely residual soil, very poor quality oflimestone, poor quality of limestone, very poorquality of volcanic breccia, poor quality brec-cia, and good quality breccia. Based on thesecondary elastic wave velocity (Vs) values, therock masses in the research area were classi-fied as hard rock (SA).

vided by the National Earthquake Center (2017)indicated that the PGA and the correspondingamplification factor FPGA in the research areawere 0.3 and 0.8, respectively. The calculatedseismic coefficient for the pseudostatic slopestability analyses was 0.12. The numerical anal-ysis results showed that the earthquake loadreduced the critical Strength Reduction Factor(SRF) values of the slopes. However, the naturaland excavated tunnel portal slopes were rela-tively stable under static and earthquake loads.The natural slope at the tunnel inlet with a 40°inclination had a critical SRF value of 4.0, whilethat of at the tunnel outlet with a 51° inclina-tion had a critical SRF value of 2.6. Under staticload, the excavated slopes at the tunnel inletand outlet having a 45° inclination had criti-cal SRF values of 2.4 and 5.0, respectively. Un-der earthquake load, the excavated slopes atthe tunnel inlet and outlet had critical SRF val-ues of 2.3 and 3.5, respectively. In summary,the natural and excavated inlet and outlet por-tal slopes met the requirements specified in SNI8460 (BSN, 2017) for seismic slope designs.
